REFLECTOR: Time lapse video of 1 year of building

[Reiff Lorenz]

Reflector,

My Velocity Aircraft kit was delivered back from the head-start program a year ago. Here is a time-lapse video of a year of building. It starts with the kit being delivered and ends with the local EAA chapter visiting my workshop for a tour.

I lost some photos when the camera's storage card filled up . . . I'm missing April and May when I was working on the canard, and a weekend in July when Jerry and Linda Brainard helped install the firewall stainless steel sheeting . . . so those segments are missing from the video.

The clock is set wrong for the first 60% of the video. The year is all 2012. The month and day are approximately correct.

(This is the same video that was posted yesterday to the Facebook group. Please excuse the cross-posting if you've already seen it.)

My biggest concern when considering this 5 - 7 year project was that I'd lose interest or patience after a year or two. I'm happy to say that I still look forward to every free evening that I can sand, cut, fit, mix, glue, screw, undo, redo, grind, install, rivet, measure, scrap, clamp, cleco, drill, or just sit around trying to figure out WTF I'm supposed to do!

One year down. 4 - 6 more to go? (If I'm lucky!)
